My favorite part about this "helpful" prompt is that "no" is tiny text at the corner of the screen, and the yes-please-change-all-my-defaults button is a giant "ok".
This kind of behavior should be illegal, IMO.
- FredPret 4y agoIt's not going to be illegal anytime soon, but in the meantime, you can punish them by moving to Mac, or Chromebook. I did that after an update that went too far
- numeromancer 4y agoChromebook is worse. They pioneered the "in order to use this device which we let you pretend to own you must first attach yourself to our borg" model.
- Nextgrid 4y agoIf it's got any data protection impacts, it is illegal in Europe under the GDPR. However its enforcement is significantly lacking even against very obvious and blatant breaches, so anything slightly more subtle has no way of being addressed.
- userbinator 4y agoAt least it says "No" and not "No Thanks" or "Maybe Later" or "Remind Me Later"? ...or as I like to call it whenever I run into one, "where's the 'Fuck Off!' button?"
- mmis1000 4y agoI don't think it's different with "Maybe later" in anyway if it pops up after every big update. It's absolutely not how "No" should work.
